Do you find the 30-06 to be really loud wearing hearing protection? And do you ever wear ear plugs with ear muffs?

OK.

Seriously, I am suffering from hearing loss and just recently I have purchased ear plugs. I have been suffering from tinnitus effects since the past 3 years, and I guess now it is time for me to really protect my ears.

Till now, I randomly suffers from ear pressure problems; ears tend to ache and feel pressurized for extended periods despite massaging it frequently. To ease the pain, I tend to put on my earphones (those with inner buds), but of course either with music playing at low volume or music-less. Then now, since I have had ear plugs, I wondered since ear plugs blocked nearly all opening spaces of the canal, there would be ‘worser’ ventilation for the canal.

So how long is it safe to put on ear plugs? The only thing I am afraid is if putting on ear plugs for long hours can cause poor ventilation to the ear canal. I planned to use during my sleep time (about 7hrs) and also when I am on the move in noisy places and vehicles.

Thanks.
Oh. I am not sure why I feel relieved when I put something in my ear to block it. It seems like if my ears feel so pressurized and ‘cramp’, I would immediately put on my earphones or ear plugs now, and the pain will ease within seconds. Yes, now at times when I really need music, I cant bear without my earpiece. But got to on at low ‘pathetic’ volume; imagine seeing 2 or 3 of the maximum rated volume at 32 of my media player? I planned to use headphones instead now..

For 8 months I’ve had tinnitus in my right ear. I went to an ENT and all the tests came back normal.

I’m almost positive now that it was caused by shooting a loud rifle once without ear protection.

I’m so @%#+%+ because my brother talked me into shooting the rifle and said it wasn’t loud enough to where I needed ear protection so I didn’t get it.

After that whole incident I now have trust issues with my brother. Since I kept saying no and he kept trying to convince me to shoot.

Whenever I hear tinnitus my anxiety jumps because I go back to that day and just imagined what life will be like if I just said no to shooting.

Whenever I go to bed at night or wake up in the morning I can hear the tinnitus. In the morning I’m not sure what it is because I just woke up, but then it’s depressing knowing it is still there, and that it hasn’t gone away yet.

Sometimes it sounds like it is going to fade, and a couple days I think it actually did fade so much that I couldn’t notice it.

I don’t know what brings it back, but it goes back to the original volume sometimes.

It’s just depressing because I know what silence is like somewhat because My left ear is fine.

The good thing though is the tinnitus isn’t as loud as when I first noticed it 8 months ago.
So I’m wondering if it will fade in a couple years? A couple times it’s faded to almost nothing, and it’s never gotten louder except once when I had to walk by loud speakers.

Now, I bring ear plugs everywhere no matter what because I never realized how loud our world can be.
